What about your performance at today’s class?Are you active enough to focuson the lessons? Nowadays it is common to see students’ laziness and poorefficiency at class. And that  iswhyschoolsacrosstheworldaretryingtocomeupwithsolutionstokeepstudentsactive.

Some arereplacing traditional classroom chairs with exercise balls or standing desks.At War ElementarySchool in Winston, North Carolina students have adopted a newprogram that requires riding fixed bikes while reading.

‘Read andRide’ is the creation of school counselor Scott Ertl, who came up with the ideawhile he was exercising and reading at the gym. Believing it would be a fun wayto convince students to become more active, he placed one in the corner of hisclassroom and encouraged them to use it during independent reading classes.

It was sopopular that Ertl decided to add more bikes and offer the Read and Ride programto the entire school. Today Ward Elementary has a dedicated exercise roomfilled with bikes that can be used by students while completing their dailyreading assignments.

Besidesmaking reading more fun, the program also helps students exercise at acomfortable pace without the pressure that comes with regular sports-relatedactivities. It is also a perfect   way torelease energy during days when the weather is not helpful to outdoor activities.What is more important, however, are the program’sacademic benefits. A year after Read and Ride was introduced at WardElementary  School, students actively involved in the programdemonstrated an astonishing 83% reading proficiency.Those who had not taken advantage of the exercise  bikes tested at a much lower,41%.

Of coursethere are many other programs which have got good results as ‘Read and Ride’.Though  the  substantial improvement in  academic  achievement can  not  all    beattributed to

programslik‘e  Read andRide,’expertsbelieve theyarea significantcontributor.That’sbecause

studies have shown that physical activitystimulates(刺激) braincells and helps prepare it for learning. So don’t be surprised to find moreschools across the country will adopt “Read and Ride” for their students.

24.What is the new program at Ward Elementary School?

25.How do the students at Ward Elementary School benefit from the program?

26.Which of the following is the closest in the meaning to the underlined phrase in the last paragraph?

27.What is the author's attitude towards this program?

I was on a boat racing across the open ocean off Cancun’scoast. I became thrilled as I wondered what this beautiful day had in store for me. I joined oneof the eco-tours that headed out to sea daily and dropped tourists into theocean with whale sharks—the world’s largest fish! I had learned in thebook that they were hard to find and quick to leave. This experience was boundto beunforgettable!

After an hour-long rideat sea, we noticed large black fins(鱼鳍)appearing all around us and I knew immediately we were in for an unforgettabletime! With a full boat of 10people,   we took turns plunging into theshark-filled waters two at a time with the addition of a guide. We couldimmediately see enormous whale sharks swimming in every direction around us.Whale sharks are gentle giants, and it is impossible not to wonder at theirhuge size and grace as they glide through the water. These giant fish aren’tafraid of humans, swimming quietly right by us.

The toursallowed for 15 minutes in the water at a time, rotating(使轮流) other touristsin and out. On this day the waves were very strong and several of thepassengers became seasick, and so did I. But I don’t normally get seasickness.Luckily for me, those passengers stopped taking their turn, allowing me moretime in the water!

Before the tour ended we had been in the water for a couple of hours and within a fewfeet of dozens of whale sharks. How could the experience get any better? Youmight ask. How  about a surprise visit from manta rays jumping out of water? Yes!Giant manta rays were propelling(推 动) themselves into the air for our viewing pleasure on our way backhome! Some even swam by our boat and gave us a close-up view!

On the way back to Cancun we ate lunch at thebeautiful and slightly crowded beach of Isla Mujeres. By thetime the day had ended it put my previous experience inBelizeto   shame—this was indeed a day that had made my dreams come true.

28.How did the writer feel when he was on a boat racing across the open ocean off Cancun’s coast?

29.From the third paragraph, we can learn that .

30.What does the passage mainly talk about?

31.We can infer that the manta ray probably refers to .

Nowadays, it is common to see almost everybody fix their eyes on the screens of their smartphones at parties, although various food and drinks are provided. So people say parties and social gatherings no longer excite us the same way they once did.

They prefer to spend more time on their phones rather than talk with their friends. According to a recent International Data Corporation study, well over half of Chinese have a smartphone and reach for it the moment they wake up, keeping it in hand all day. In addition, too many drivers are using smartphones while driving and as a result they get into car crashes. According to a police report, 34 percent of drivers admit texting while driving, and they confirm that text messaging is their number one driving interruption. People's attachment to their smartphones is unbelievably becoming more important than the lives of themselves and others.

Just as drivers ignore the importance of focusing while on the road, many people also fail to recognize the significance of human interaction. When with their friends, some people pointlessly check or send text messages in the presence of a friend, which sends a message to that friend: the person I am texting is more important than you. In addition, relying on our smartphone to make friends does not give us the same advantage as being able to make new friendships in the real world. Face-to-face conversations will give us much stronger communication skills in the long run.

Not only is the smartphone affecting our desire to interact (交流) face-to-face but it is   also lowering society's ability to communicate. We are living in a high-tech age, yet face-to-face communication is and will permanently be the number one way of communicating for humans.

32.Why do parties and social gatherings no longer excite us like before?

33.According to the second paragraph, which of the following interrupts drivers the most while they are driving?

34.Over reliance on the smartphone leads to the result that .

35.This text is probably taken from .

(Do you usually feel like you're working hard but still can't reach your study goals? Here are some quick tips to help you study better.

◆Study with a partner or in groups

Rather than living in a cave with your nose in the books all day, grab a friend from your class and study with him.__ __

◆Step into your teacher's shoes

(Ask yourself “If I were the teacher, what would I put on the test?” You have probably experienced a lot of your teacher's tests and quizzes by now.__ __Teachers have specific   types of information that they want you to learn. The structure is usually the same.

◆Paint pictures on the paper.

You can build your knowledge structure in the form of pictures. It's harder to remember  each piece of a puzzle individually than it is to recall the completed picture.__ __

_

(A hungry brain is an ineffective one. Those Snickers commercials were not kidding. Your brain needs the proper nutrients to keep it going. Because of this, what you eat and drink also plays a huge role in how sharp your brain is. Healthy foods provide nutrients to your brain cells to keep them energized. Junk foods increase tiredness and don't make you have a good taste for others.

◆Take breaks to relax your brain.

Your  brain is like a muscle. It can also tire if you overwork it.__ __If you divide    studying into 15•30•minute blocks with quick breaks in between, your brain will feel refreshed, grateful and ready for the next challenge you throw at.
